The term for membership on the Park Committee shall be for three
years, except that the term for the membership of the representatives

eligible for appointment one year after the expiration of his or her
last term.
The Town Board shall have the power to remove any member of
the Park Committee for cause. Any member of the Park Committee may
be removed after failing to attend three consecutive meetings, unless

for good cause.
If a vacancy shall occur otherwise than by expiration of term,
the Town Board shall appoint the new member for the unexpired term.
The Park Committee shall designate from its membership a Chairperson,
Vice Chairperson and a Secretary, to serve in such capacities for
terms of one year commencing January 1.
Meetings of the Park Committee shall be held at the call of

The Chairperson, or in his or her absence, the Vice Chairperson, shall
preside at such meetings. The Secretary shall keep minutes of the
meetings of the Park Committee.
A majority of the Park Committee shall constitute a quorum for
transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn. Every act,
motion or resolution shall require for its adoption the affirmative
vote of a simple majority of members. The Park Committee may determine
the rules of its procedures not inconsistent herewith.
